Off The Grid is, without a doubt, the most magical Airbnb in Oregon. Modeled after classic US Forest Service fire lookouts, this 40-foot tower sits in an idyllic meadow on 160 acres of private land within Oregon’s wondrous Umpqua National Forest. This unique Airbnb offers guests a comfortable, glamping-style getaway in one of Oregon’s most breathtaking regions. With its whimsical features, forested surroundings, and castle-like perch, you’ll feel as though you’re in a real-life fairytale when you stay at this enchanting fire lookout in Oregon.

The 2022 season will open in early to mid-April, and they will begin booking reservations in early March 2022. Sign up for their cancellation/booking notification list through Airbnb page, and be sure to check the USDA Forest Services website for wildfire updates in the area.
With its vantage high above the Umpqua National Forest, this fire lookout in Oregon is straight out of a fairy tale.
The property is located on 160 acres of private land; a kingdom for guests to explore. The platform is 40 feet high and accessed via four flights of stairs -- and it's worth each and every step.
It's no wonder this lookout is booked seasons in advance. It's absolutely stunning, and worth the effort to seek out. (Can you imagine these views while you shower in the morning?)
Inside the fire tower, you'll find a space that's simply perfect: cozy and comfortable, full of enchanting little nooks and crannies, with large windows that showcase the stunning scenery.
A fold-down ladder from the main living area leads to the upstairs loft, which has a plush, queen-size bed and will make you feel as though you're sleeping in the clouds.
Oregon is full of swoon-worthy accommodations, but nothing compares to this fire lookout tower. It's a real-life fairy tale; a wholly magical experience you'll never forget.
